Do you happen to have a recipe for that mango chutney?
Not exactly! I just sort of take finely chopped apples (for pectin), onions, mango, and dried raisins or dried apricots. Then I boil, adding (a little) vinegar over time until it looks like chunky jam. Then I flavor it with soup stock and cinnamon to taste. Some nutmeg too, if you like. Finally I adjust acidity and sweetness with more vinegar or some sugar -- but that's usually not necessary if I add things in slowly.
If it's too acidic, boil it longer, adding a little water if it gets dry. Vinegar (acetic acid) is a gas and will evaporate out slowly this way.
Mix frequently.
Ya know, for a friend...
